If I weren't happy with Cherry Audio's Elka X, for $20. I'd be tempted to pick up IK's Synth X sample-based clone. Its the only one of the 35 Syntronik / Syntronik 2 synths I don't have. Hmmmm. Just looked at IK's Synth X. It sounds nice, but the panel doesn't show an arpeggiator/sequencer. Hmm. It would "only" be $14 with jam points. Does anyone have a link to the Synth X manual? Hmmmm. Preset / Wave Set List doesn't list arps or sequences.

Yup, yup, and, yup. Maybe Lester will clarify. Evidently Chrome just asks Allow or Block ? and once allowed it stays that way for that site. ? (No allow once, Allow always . . . .)

See the table under "Browser compatibility" here. Notice that Chrome implements "requestMIDIAccess." Notice the other tables as well. The issue of websites gaining access to PC Connected MIDI devices without the express permission of PC owners was a big one as I recall. (Don't ask me to look for the historical docs on the issue.) Bottom line: I really doubt that Chrome or any other Browsers that allow sites to use MIDI devices on their webpages would have backslid on this.

WTF?????? What was the original question? The one about "not enough memory" for a midi device? For me that was always, "something else is using the device." This ^^^. In 100% of the cases with my own PC and those of others I have helped, the solution has been to stop the "something else." While the software using the MIDI device (or port), could be a web browser, I can't recall that being the case for more than 2% of the cases. There was a time in the infancy of what became Web MIDI that some browsers wouldn't ask if it was OK for a site to use / take control of a MIDI device / port, but due to potential security issues (among others) it became important for browsers to ask first as the default. I cannot imagine that Chrome has backslid on that. Of course, if a user gives blanket permission ( as in [ X ] Never Ask as opposed to allowing only specific sites), it could be an issue. If the issue is "Where in Chrome is the setting to say [ X ] Always Ask (or [ X } Never Allow, if indeed browsers now default to allow sites to take over MIDI devices / ports, that's one question. If the issue is "something else" is using the MIDI device / port, I would look for some software that is using the device / port. It could be (for example) a utility such as MIDI-Ox, a standalone soft synth, another DAW or utility, a device / hardware / interface configuration utility, etc. If the issue is the computer locking up / freezing, that is yet another issue. (See suggestions above.) What problem are you trying to solve?

I couldn't find in the Reference Guide where its says that F5 cycles through the Smart tools. I thought the tool was smart in the sense that it did different things based on context and the cursor switched as a clue to what it was about to do. The Reference guide says: On the other hand other tools are listed as cycling through different functions based on the key press (F8, F9, F10). To me they are not smart tools because we have to cycle through the functions manually. Its almost like you are wanting the Smart Tool to loose its "smartness" so you can cycle through the options with an F-Key.

Everyone who does "custom" / "odd" meters knows this, so this if for the benefit of people who stumble onto this thread and are intrigued enough to experiment. The metronome can get messy, so as an alternative we can turn off the metronome and use a percussion track. Even when doing something as ordinary as 6/8 I have found the percussion track helpful to set it up as 6/8 in 2 or 6/8 in 3 or somewhere in between. Also works for "odd" meters. Yes, I know everyone knows this, but for the benefit of people who only do 3/4 and 4/4 and always use the metronome, maybe this tidbit will be helpful.

This reminds me, for any instrument if you look at the Device GUI (such as the Meldaway Grand Piano), you can see whole bunches of tweakable parameters that are accessible without having the Edit Button that's in the full version. That might be a good way for people to decide if its worth $39.

MSF LE does not have access to all the editable features you find with the Edit Button, but from what I remember, there are some things you can tweak with the Global settings.

Guy Fawkes Lego!!

I bought MSF LE from Plugin Boutique (2021: £40.80). At the time they had no mechanism for purchasing the upgrade through them, but since third party purchases need to be registered with Melda Production, I was able to get the upgrade pricing directly from Melda. From what I have seen, $39 for LE is an excellent price. UPDATE: See this page. It says "Can be upgraded to: MSoundFactory." Note: I just looked up my invoice. I upgraded during one of the 1/2 price sales and received a loyalty credit for LE on top of the 50% price.

(1) I hope you are not serious. (2) If you are serious, DON'T! (3) Hope you are feeling better (positive and productive) soon. (4) Despite your laughing emoji, you might want to edit your post.

I don't use the playlist, so I can't answer your question, but I know the question of changing font size for various other things things in SONAR/Cakewalk has come up in the forum. As you may know the company that makes Cakewalk by Bandlab is in the process of developing two new products, Cakewalk Next and Cakewalk Sonar. Perhaps one of those will include the playlist feature. From what I have read, the UI experience will be very different from SONAR/Cakewalk as we all know it. I don't know if you looked up the question of changing font size in general in the forum. If not, here's what I did to find related posts. Using the forum's search features: Chose "Home" (upper left of Cakewalk Discuss to set the widest scope for the search). You could also choose "Everywhere" in the Search Bar's dropdown menu. Typed "font size" in quotation marks in the search bar (upper right on the same line as "Home"). I hope this helps until someone comes along who uses the playlist and can answer your question.

I just got an e-mail saying this $60 deal ($99 - $39 code) expires today. I see by the counter there are seven hours left.I am on the fence--it seems pretty, but not sure if I would use it. So I am not really promoting it other than to say, If you have decided you want it, haven't changed your mind, and still want it (personal decision), the timer is ticking.

For example, see the article @Reid Rosefelt posted:

No controversy here. I was just adding information / sources. Privatizing publicly traded companies brings changes. Disclosure: I have never purchased or sold shares of AVID.

Oh. I wasn't offering a solution to a problem which you had already solved. I was just remembering the several times when I had the problem after the comments above mine. As always (well almost always) any problem can have various causes and therefore solutions can vary. Sorry about the confusion.

https://stg.com/news/stg-raises-4-2-billion-in-oversubscribed-fund-vii/ https://stg.com/news/avid-technology-enters-into-definitive-agreement-to-be-acquired-by-an-affiliate-of-stg-for-1-4-billion/ It seems to have jumped up to $26.66 at the close of trading Friday, August 11th. Anyone who bought shares of AVID between Summer 2003 and the end of 2005 and had been holding on all this time hoping for another bubble might feel lucky to be getting $27.05 after the long slump.

Now that you mention it, I remember having to kill the midi activity icon/process manually on occasions after SONAR/Cakewalk had closed. Not 100% sure but it might have been after a plug-in mishap.

Once you are logged in from your web browser of choice and activate CbB, can you choose Help > Refresh Activation and if so do you get a toaster message in Cakewalk that says your activation has been refreshed?

How do you know this is not already possible?

Thanks to all who contributed to the discussion. I rarely use phasers, but the thread inspired me to spend some time exploring. In case it helps inspire others, here's what I did. Background: For about a year (+/-) I have used Kushview Element as a host to teach myself (i.e., test and explore) Melda Plugins every so. One session started with Melda Sound Factory and MPowerSynth but now has Pigments and Analog Lab as sound sources to which I gradually added Melda FX plugins, mostly in a long serial chain. Its super simple to explore one at a time. Over the past few months I have been working on creating texturtal MSF patches based on some wavetables. Slow morphed changes shaped with a note-triggered envelope plus (so far) ModWheel --> table position for real time manual textural shifting. So, today (thanks to the conversation), I added MPhaser and MPhaserMB to my current Kushview Session, explored the factory presets and downloaded/community presets in both and found an MB preset that really complements several of the slow, evolving MSF wavetable-based presets I have been gradually developing. Its one that has 3 bands, has a nice low band sound and some nice mild, but noticeable phaser width LFO modulation in the middle range. I can easily see adding the MB Phaser into some MSF Presets directly at some point, but exploring the MPhaser/MB plugins like this (one at a time) helps focus my attention and greatly facilitates a developing sound design process. I apologize for my enthusiasm, but I have wanted to build in some additional layers to these sounds since I last worked on them and thanks to the discussion of Melda's Phasers, I have taken a major leap forward by discovering how I can make use of a 3-band phaser to in effect add more controllable dimensions in a way that pleases my ear and fits one of my performance styles. These plug-ins might not meet everyone's needs, but I now have a better appreciation of phasers and will be using them. ?

I am surprised no one suggested doing Can-Can music with it! ?

@sjoens Since I almost never browse the internet on my "smart" phone, I defer to the details you have provided. I agree that if people have their Cakewalk/Bandlab accounts crosslinked with Google Mail, Facebook, and or Twitter that is handy. I didn't know that was new (or that it worked). I guess I its worth having them all share information after all.
